When developing photon I always end up with more issues on chrome browsers than firefox. and half of those are because of its god awful scrollbar. Please use an overlay scrollbar instead of shifting the stupid page around, chrome.

ugh yeah classic chrome am I right? (I forgot how to center a div)
My website only works with Chrome, but it has to be a specific old version of it. And you also need to install some extensions. Very specific versions of these extensions. Few of them already removed from the store due to security backdoors.
I have a Docker image you can use to run Chrome though.
At that point, just release your website as an electron app.
What version of Docker do I need to run your container?
You'll need my fork of docker, and you'll need to apply a patch.
Can I run your patched version of docker on docker?
Yes, with --privileged. It's totally safe. Trust me.
No. You need to run it in a VM that runs TempleOS.
Which version of TempleOS?
My code is portable enough to support all versions.
How did we get from "SGML varient for formatting text" to this?
Greatest format ever. I present you with the Demi-God of memes award for best use of THEY LIVE if you originated the template. If you did not originate you get the cool assed dude award for sharing. Many thanks.
I like this template so much better than the Spider-Man one that people constantly use backwards.
But this one's also backwards? I haven't seen the movie, talking purely about the two photos.
In the movie the glasses let the wearer see the truth. This template is often used backwards but it's correct in this case.
What's the movie?
"They Live!" A guy finds some strange sunglasses that lets him see the subliminal messages hidden in all our print and media and advertisements. He can also see aliens walking amongst the population, disguised as regular humans!
Turns out, Earth had been invaded by aliens long ago and they've been keeping us under their control with subliminal messages for decades.
And the aliens definitely aren't allegory for capitalists

If your website only works with Chrome, it’s not a website. It’s a Chrome site.
You didn’t design for the web. You designed for Chrome.
I just design for IE6
I do this, but unironically.
An Antiquarian I see. Carry on my good fellow!
Fuck chrome. Such a dogshit unoptimized spyware browser that now disables ad-blocking plugins
I agree that Chrome fucking sucks, but it's disingenuous to call it unoptimized. Chrome and chromium-based browsers are as fast as or faster than Firefox. Although I agree that manifest V3 is horrible to the web as a whole and shouldn't have been created.

Chrome is awful in nearly every way one can measure a browser. Anyone still using this as they're main driver in 2025 is technologically challenged.
It’s wild to see Chrome going from the browser to use if you had any tech sense whatsoever to being universally derided.
Universally derided
lol try looking outside lemmy. 90% of people still just use it and don't care
At least in my country, google is going balls-to-the-walls mode with the chrome psyop. Like every third ad on youtube is an ad for chrome. And if you're a little older, you'll remember their countless other ad campaigns that propelled chrome into the mainstream. The only reason so many people use chrome is because they're brainwashed into it.

I wish I could like this thrice
Make an alt account.
This has been a problem for a very very long time
I agree with you that failing to support multiple browsers is an old problem, but I think the cause has shifted.
Back in the last century, supporting both browsers amounted to sniffing the browser and implementing the same feature twice. document.layers vs document.all for example.
Nowadays I think the problem is different: we just don't know what's going on. The site is transpiled from TypeScript, written on top of React or Vue which drastically switches paradigm (bonus for Tailwind), packed with building tools, and the average dev has little understanding of what actually comes out. It's a tall stack of leaky abstractions on top of the already tall one of the web. The dev is pretty sure it works on Chrome so they say it does work there, but it was not even a deliberate choice.
